NEET · Chemistry · STD 12 -8.1. Aldehydes and ketones
Reaction by which benzaldehyde cannot be prepared
- A (image) \(+ CO + HCl\) in presence of anhydrous \(AlCl_3\)
- B (image)\(+ Zn/Hg\) and conc. \(HCl\)
- C (image) \(+ CrO_2Cl_2\) in \(Cs_2\) followed by \(H_3O^+\)
- D (image) \(+ H_2\) in presence of \(Pd-BaSO_4\)
Answer & Solution
Correct Answer
(B) (image)\(+ Zn/Hg\) and conc. \(HCl\)
Step-by-step Solution
Detailed explanation
In presence of \(\mathrm{Zn}-\mathrm{Hg}\) and conc. \(HCl\) reduction is useful specially for aldehyde and ketone but carboxylic group remains uneffected
